7 Dallas, TX Euless , TEXAS Overview OVERVIEW. The riverwalk ! site, in Euless , Tarrant County, Texas, consists of approximately 200. acres located at the northwest corner of State Highway 183 and State Highway 360. The site is the largest undeveloped tract in the City of Euless and the topography is generally conducive to development. It occupies a central location relative to job centers and cultural venues in Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, the DFW Airport as well as other points in the DFW Metroplex. The land uses surrounding the site consist predominately of higher density housing to the north and the west, the DFW Airport to the east, and a mix of commercial, industrial and residential uses to the south across SH 183.

8 Virtually the entire site is subject to an Aviation Easement for the DFW Airport. Although several large tracts within the area bounded by the state highways, Harwood Road, and Fuller-Wiser Rd, are outside the bounds of this Ordinance, they may be affected by this zoning ordinance and the structure of the Ordinance anticipates that those tracts may opt to develop in conformance with this zoning program in the future. The Euless Comprehensive Land Use Plan anticipates that nearly all of the subject site should be used for commercial land uses. This Ordinance anticipates that commercial activity still occupies a primary role in the development of the real estate, but does not constitute the only land use.

9 There are a number of reasons for this modification to the Comprehensive Plan which are enumerated below. A) Modern Urban Planning Principles - CNU. The principles governing the best practices of modern urban planning have evolved a great deal over the last decade. This is best represented by the explosive growth of the organization known as the Congress for New Urbanism. This organization represents the move toward improving the pedestrian experience and establishing it as a priority above the vehicular access in the town planning process. This organization has developed a master town planning code, called the SmartCode, which is the basis for this ordinance.

10 The Code constitutes the basic guideline for sustainable, humane, pedestrian-oriented urban planning. B) Local & National Market Forces National economic trends are migrating away from retail and commercial growth for the near term. Even in the absence of those trends, the magnitude of the site, and the displacement of retail activity into electronic sales formats requires mixing the development portfolio with uses other than retail. The success of the location for housing has been well established, and increases in demand will improve the potential of the retail and office market.
